    Behavioral therapy

    This therapy, also known as talk therapy, is one of the main ways to treat a mental health condition. It can help you find issues that are causing problems, manage those issues and move beyond them.

     

    Some things you can expect:

     

    • A therapy session can be one-on-one, in a group or with a family.
    • A psychiatrist, psychologist or counselor leads the session. They’ll ask questions, listen to you and explore options available to you.
    • Sessions can be face to face in your provider’s office, or through televideo.

    If you choose televideo, you can get counseling from your home or while traveling through your computer webcam or smart device. It’s private and convenient.

    Medication therapy  

     

    Many medications can be effective in treating conditions like depression and substance use disorders. Your doctor is trained to find the right medicine to help you manage your symptoms and feel better.

     

    Your doctor can also:

     

    • Discuss your medications, how they work and why they’re important
    • Help you manage any side effects
    •  Answer questions about other possible treatments

    Even if you start to feel better, it’s important to keep an open conversation with your doctor. They can help you take your medicine as prescribed, and you can work on next steps together.
